Revisiting characters established in August Wilson’s SEVEN GUITARS, this play returns to Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1985.

Amid the realities of rampant crime and drug use in the neighborhood community, he tries to carve out his own destiny. Tickets $32 for previews and $40 for regular performances.
